More Nashville Closings

Posted on 01. Nov, 2008 by Yvonne Smith in Blog, Nashville, News

This has not been a good month for Nashville vegans.  The Veggie Cafe has been sold.  Dawn and Marilyn are taking a break and are still going to have a catering service, but many of us will miss the restaurant.  Hopefully the new owners will continue to have veg-friendly options!

We are also losing my favorite Nashville wine store, YN.  They’re the ones who had the vegan wine section for a while, so naturally I was a loyal customer.  It also helps that it was right next to Whole Body, which made it extra convenient for me.  Here’s the email that was sent out yesterday:

We are closing (yn) wine shop after Saturday, November 1st. We thank each of you for your dedication and loyalty to us, our concept that less, but better, is best.  To be named “best wine shop” by Carrington Fox and The Nashville Scene is testimony to selling truth and quality. I will send you more details on Monday, but for now, we hope to see you at least one more time at this location (the Hill Center).

Best of luck to Ed, Harlan, Tristan and the rest of the crew.  We hope to see you again soon!

By the way, I stopped by YN yesterday and bought six bottles at 25% off.  That’s my silver lining, although I really am heartbroken to see the store go away.

At least Trader Joe’s is opening soon, which is a very, very good thing.  There were rumors about them opening up a separate wine store, but apparently they were just rumors.

And of course, we still have the Wine Shoppe at Green Hills.
